Re: It was rumoured that local houses could light bulbs from the radiation.

There is a story (don't know if it's true) that some guy built a frame aerial in his loft space to power his entire house, and was creating a radio shadow. The only way he could be stopped at the time was by being prosecuted for using a radio receiver without a license (needed in those early days). Suitable laws were hurried through!
